Chapter 15 Return to the capital
The incident between Jian Fang and Jian Yun was suppressed like this, and almost no Jing alarmed others. After learning that the two concubines were grounded, Jian Yao also went out of her way to ask Mrs. Jian what they had done?
Mrs. Jian casually found an excuse for sister discord and sent her away, Jian Yao didn't believe it at all, but she sent someone to inquire around, and it was all the news that Jian Fang and Jian Yun had a quarrel and finally made a move.
Jian Yao felt bored, so she stopped asking. Thinking that Fang Moyu and Fang Moyu were going to leave tomorrow, they took Jian Fei to Liufang Courtyard.
In Liufang Courtyard, the suitcases and cages of the Fang Mojiao sisters were all tidied up, and when Jian Yao came, she saw that the room was much empty, and her heart suddenly swelled with a trace of reluctance.
"Cousin, Sister Yu, after you leave, only me and Xiaofei will be left, Xiaofei is a stuffy gourd, and it's too boring to just play with her."
Fang Mojiao smiled and said, "How come, aren't there still Cousin Fang and Cousin Yun?" ”
Jian Yao pursed her lips, "Don't mention the two of them, such a big person had a dispute and even started to move, and was punished by my mother for being grounded, saying that it was grounded for half a year, but I listened to my mother's tone, and I don't know when the ban will be lifted." ”
Hearing this, Fang Mojiao and Fang Moyu glanced at each other, Fang Moyu was a little surprised, "When did this happen, weren't they all okay yesterday?" ”
"It seems to be last night, I don't know what's going on with these two, I was fine with a person a few days ago, and it was unreasonable to say that there was a trouble." Jian Yao has always looked down on the actions of the two sisters, and she is ruthless in her sarcasm.
I don't know why, listening to Jian Yao talk about this, Fang Mojiao always felt that something was wrong in her heart. If Jian Fang and Jian Yun really fought, Mrs. Jian would not ban their feet, at most, they would deduct the monthly case and punish them for copying books. But the fact that they have been grounded, and there is no specific time for them to be lifted, is a sign that they have made serious mistakes.
She suddenly thought of Zheng Yu, when Zheng Yu first came, Jian Fang and Jian Yun's target was him. Later, I don't know what agreement the two sisters reached in private, only Jian Fang went to Zheng Yu's side alone, and Jian Yun even often created opportunities for Sister Shu.
Could it be that the two sisters were grounded and related to Zheng Yu? After Jian Yao left, she quietly asked Baixi to inquire where Zheng Yu stayed last night and whether anything strange happened.
About half an hour later, Baixi came back, "Girl, the slave asked Xiaofeng, he said that Young Master Yu did not go back to his residence after separating from the two young masters last night, but stayed at Young Master Yan's place for one night, and he didn't know what happened. ”
Hearing this, Fang Mojiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after being sure that Zheng Yu was not calculated. As for why Jian Fang and Jian Yun were punished, she didn't bother to inquire.
Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to everyone in Jian's Mansion, Fang Mojiao and the three of them boarded the passenger ship bound for the capital in the teary eyes of Mrs. Jian, ending their four-month life in Jiangnan.
The river was sparkling, Fang Mojiao leaned against the window, and her thoughts drifted far away unconsciously. When she said goodbye to everyone in the morning, she didn't see Jian Yan in the crowd, and she couldn't help but feel a little more lost.
She thought that after getting along for the past few months, Jian Yan treated her more or less differently, but she didn't expect that she thought too much.
At this time, Baixi came in from outside, saw his girl's expression, and asked worriedly: "The girl is not well?" ”
Fang Mojiao didn't reply, "I'm fine, I just feel a little bored." ”
Baixi took a closer look again, and saw that her complexion was as usual, so she was relieved, "When the slave came back, Young Master Yu also asked about the girl, if the girl is bored, go out for a walk." ”
Since getting on the boat, Zheng Yu has often stayed with Fang Moyu, and Fang Moyu rarely goes out if she doesn't want to disturb them. But she's been stuffy in the cabin for days, and it's time to get out and breathe.
When she went out, Fang Moyu and Zheng Yu were talking with a smile, I don't know what Zheng Yu said, which made Fang Moyu smile. When the two saw her, Zheng Yu beckoned to her, "Cousin, come here." ”
Fang Mojiao walked over slowly, "What are Cousin Yu and Big Sister talking about?" ”
Fang Moyu said with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi told me some experience of running errands outside, which sounds very interesting. ”
"It's those old stories again, I'm tired of hearing them before." Fang Mojiao pursed her lips and said.
Zheng Yu just wanted to refute, but found that his cousin's mood was a little wrong, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with my cousin?" Fang Moyu also looked at her worriedly.
Fang Mojiao shook her head, "It's not much, you can continue, I won't bother." ”
Zheng Yu hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute, someone asked me to bring you something, I haven't seen you come out for the past few days, and I almost forgot about it." After saying that, he hurriedly went back and fetched the things.
Fang Mojiao's gaze fell on the box in Zheng Yu's hand and asked, "Who's?" ”
Zheng Yu stuffed the box into her arms, "Just open it and see." ”
Fang Mojiao saw an indifferent and pale handsome face in front of her eyes, dropped the sentence "I'll go back and see", and then walked to the cabin with the box.
When she returned, she stared at the box for a long time before slowly opening it, only to see a blue purse and a small rabbit carved out of wood lying inside.
She picked up the little rabbit and took a closer look, and found that it was very similar to the glazed jade rabbit lantern, the carving was not very good, but Fang Mojiao just thought it was much cuter than the glazed jade rabbit lantern.
"Stinky boy, don't think that sending a rabbit carved in wood will save you from the mistake of not coming to see you off." Although she said this, the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot.
But before she could be happy, the contents of the cyan purse made her feel depressed again. It turned out that the purse contained nothing else, but a silver ticket that she had left for him.
Although he is now with Mrs. Jane, he needs more places to use money, and he has no biological mother to help, so how can he rely on that little monthly case. It was precisely because of this that she gave him all her private room, but she didn't expect this person to appreciate it.
She counted the amount of silver tickets and broken silver, and found that there were one or two more, and she was so angry that she threw her purse far away, "If you don't appreciate it, forget it, I don't believe that the money will not be used." ”
So when Fang Er, who was choked in her chest, stopped at the next port to replenish, she took Baixi to the shore to buy a pass. When Fang Moyu and Zheng Yu saw the pile of things, they were stunned.
"Second sister, you are..."
"These are all specialties I bought and brought back to the capital to give away."
Fang Moyu was a little incomprehensible, "Wasn't the gift for giving people ready a long time ago, why did you buy so much?" ”
"Big sister, Jiangnan is Jiangnan, Jiangyang is Jiangyang, there are always different things in the two places, it's okay for me to buy more." Fang Mojiao said indifferently.
Fang Moyu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zheng Yu, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it, she is not happy, let her vent." ”
Fang Moyu sighed lightly, where is there anything I don't understand, my cousin is angry with the silver because of Jian Yan.
Fortunately, Fang Mojiao still knew the measure, and after making a mess in Jiangyang until she returned to the capital, she never messed around again.
At the end of September, the passenger ship finally docked at the Beijing wharf, and when Fang Mojiao saw her brothers standing at the pier to pick them up, the things that bothered her were left behind her.
She finally returned home, and she could finally see her family after a few months of absence.
As excited as she was Fang Moyu, after seeing Brother Fang, she immediately separated herself from Zheng Yu, which made Zheng Yu very disappointed.
"Big brother, second brother, I miss you so much." After not seeing her relatives for a long time, Fang Mojiao couldn't help but be coquettish with her brothers.
Brother Fang rubbed the heads of his two younger sisters, "I still know that I am homesick, I am afraid that I will be remembered by some stinky boys, and I will have a lot of fun!" ”
Fang Moyu, who was named, was very uncomfortable, she knew that Brother Fang was talking about Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu was thick-skinned, "With me here, what else is my cousin worried about." ”
Brother Fang looked at him with a smile, thinking that it was you who was guarding against it, but he knew that his cousin had always been thin-skinned, so he endured it.
He said to Zheng Yu: "Go back quickly, you have been in Jiangnan for so long, the second uncle and second aunt should miss you very much." ”
Zheng Yu glanced at his sweetheart several times before reluctantly leaving.
After returning to Fang's house, Fang Moyu and Fang Moyu repaired for a long time before going to say hello to the elders. Knowing that they were back, Mrs. Fang also came out of the Buddhist hall, and the whole family gathered in the Suxi Hall.
Liu Shi took a closer look at the two girls and sighed: "The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are just to raise people, and I have only been there for a few months, how do I think that the language and the concubine are much better." ”
Jane's and Yourongyan said: "Sister-in-law's words are right, the land of Jiangnan is full of beauties, otherwise the palace will not go to Jiangnan every time to pick and choose." ”
Jane's words are well-founded, after Emperor Rongde moved the capital to Qinjing, in order to appease the northern families, he accepted many daughters of northern families as concubines in one go. But Emperor Rongde, who grew up in Jiangnan, is still the most favorite beauty in Jiangnan, and in the year of the election, there are always a few women from Jiangnan who are canonized. Every emperor who ascended the throne after Emperor Rongde had several Jiangnan people in the harem.
Jane and Aunt Jane originally came to the capital to participate in the election, but they lost the election in the final election, and were married by the Queen Mother to Fang Shilang and General Zheng respectively.
